SPENCER'S STORY

Bridge to Bridge is a coast to coast bicycle journey to raise money for Providence Network, an organization providing transitional housing for people struggling with addictions and homelessness. All donations will support Providence Network's effort to focus on the growing population of homeless youth and young adults.

I woke up one morning under a dumpster lid in downtown Denver, trash liquid oozing onto my only pair of clothes. I was hungry, sick, and completely alone.

I had lost my way as years of bad decisions and alcoholism had stripped me from my family, home, friends, jobs, health, dreams, and hope. In that moment, I decided to change and found the Providence Network. Through their help, I have restored my relationships and rebuilt my life.

This trip is a chance for me to give back by raising money and awareness for an organization that I really believe in — one that gave me the structure and support I have needed to live the last seven years (and counting) sober.
